Bridgeport Police Department

The Bridgeport Police Department uses LexisNexis’s Community Crime Map, confirmed through multiple sources including the city’s official website, which links directly to communitycrimemap.com under its crime statistics section, and a News12 report that documented the launch: ‘Bridgeport police are making crime statistics available to the public online. The department says it is using information technology provided by LexisNexis to launch its community crime maps.’

Bridgeport is Connecticut’s largest city by population, with about 148,000 residents in Fairfield County — a post-industrial city with one of the highest concentrations of immigrant residents in New England. CCM requires an automated feed of crime incident data from Bridgeport PD’s emergency dispatch system to LexisNexis, a feed that has been running since at least the time of the News12 report.

Connecticut has no statewide sanctuary law, though several cities including New Haven have local sanctuary policies. Bridgeport itself does not have formal sanctuary protections. Whether Bridgeport PD has a PSDEX data contribution agreement on top of its CCM relationship is unconfirmed and would require a public records request under Connecticut’s Freedom of Information Act.
